Daily Bible Reading Plans

x

Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one’s mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.

"to train children, teach," is rendered "was instructed," in Act 7:22, RV (AV, "learned"); "instructing" in 2Ti 2:25, AV (RV, "correcting"); Tts 2:12, RV, "instructing" (AV, "teaching"). The verb is used of the family discipline, as in Hbr 12:6, 7, 10; cp. 1Cr 11:32; 2Cr 6:9; Rev 3:19. In 1Ti 1:20 (Passive Voice) it is translated "might be taught," RV (AV, "may learn"), but,
"however the passage is to be understood, it is clear that not the impartation of knowledge but severe discipline is intended. In Luk 23:16, 22, Pilate, since he had declared the Lord guiltless of the charge brought against Him, and hence could not punish Him, weakly offered, as a concession to the Jews, to 'chastise, paideuo, Him, and let Him go.'" *
[* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 165.]

This sense of paideuo is confirmed by Hbr 12:6, where it is joined (in a quotation from the Sept. of Pro 3:12) with "to lash or scourge." Cp. the scene in the Pilgrim's Progress where a shining one with a whip of small cords "chastised sore" the pilgrims foolishly caught in the net of the flatterer and said to them, "As many as I love I rebuke and chasten" (paideuo).
See CORRECT, TEACH.

"to lead forward, lead on" (the casual of probaino, "to go forward;" pro, "forward," bibazo, "to lift up"), is used in the Passive Voice in Mat 14:8, and translated, AV, "being before instructed," RV, "being put forward." Some mss. have it in Act 19:33, instead of No. 6.

"a guide," or "guardian" or "trainer of boys," lit., "a child-leader" (pais, "a boy, or child," ago, "to lead"), "a tutor," is translated "instructors" in 1Cr 4:15, AV (RV, "tutors"); here the thought is that of pastors rather than teachers; in Gal 3:24, 25, AV, "schoolmaster" (RV, "tutor,"), but here the idea of instruction is absent. "In this and allied words the idea is that of training, discipline, not of impartation of knowledge. The paidagogos was not the instructor of the child; he exercised a general supervision over him and was responsible for his moral and physical well-being. Thus understood, paidagogos is appropriately used with 'kept in ward' and 'shut up,' whereas to
understand it as equivalent to 'teacher' introduces an idea entirely foreign to the passage, and throws the Apostle's argument into confusion." *
[* From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 163, 164] Cp. epitropos, "a steward, guardian, tutor."
